Abstract

In this study, we investigate grid dependency on local mesh refinement for the numerical simulation of cold flow in an aircraft engine's fuel-injector. The numerical simulation of fully compressible Navier-Stokes equations is conducted using a hierarchical Cartesian mesh-based solver known as 'CUBE'. Using the results of the high-resolution simulation as the basis, the gird dependency analysis is carried out. In addition, we evaluate the weak scaling of the underlying solver.
